It breaks my heart. I was in love with Ellie Mae, from a distance, for she is way out of my league. She always did have the best critters, and her critters loved her as much as I did. I suppose in a way I was one of her critters.
It seems to me this television show had absolutely perfect casting all around.
Nola.com for more on her story.
Goodbye, Donna Douglas, I will always love you.
